Have been dying to go for a while, but was intimidated by the wait people usually describe on the board. Went in around 7 and was seated right away at the bar.... plenty of spaces and the hostess even asked if I would like a table. Decided on the bar and the amuse broche was a bruschetta with chickpeas and black olive tapinada(sp?) Delicious with a wonderful olive oil.Started with the Pigs foot milanese w/rice beans and arugala, which was very tender but the pigs feet were over powered by the slightly charred exterior or the breading. Glad I tried it, but wouldnt get it again.Then the beef cheek ravioli. Rediculously good. The meat was so flavorful and perfectly acompanied by the black truffles and crushed squab liver. A must!The bartender was very knowledgable about the entire menu, wines, and the family of restraunts and chefs, great fun to chat with and paired my meal with a wonderful full bodied red that stood up perfectly to the ravioli.All in all defintely lived up to my expectations and cant wait to go back to try all the others!
